MILLIONS SPENT BY GERMANY IN INTRIGUE OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF TEUTON PLOTS DURING PERIOD OF OUR NEUTRALITY AMAZING DISCLOSURES OF ACTIVITY OF THE KAISER'S AGENTS IN THE U.S. That the German government spent between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000 on plots and intrigues in this country in the years 1915 and 1916 through a single channel, the office of Doctor Heinrich F. Albert, the commercial attache of the German embassy, is revealed for the first time in the latest publication of the Committee on Public Information, just released. The title of the pamphlet is "German Plots and Intrigues in the United States During the Period of Our Neutrality." Its authors are Professor E. E. Sperry of the University of Syracuse, and Professor Willis M. West of the University of Minnesota. The sources from which their information is drawn are the official files of the Department of Justice, and the records of the trials conducted by the department agents, particularly in New York, Chicago, Detroit, and San Francisco. The story told by these official records as they are painstakingly explained and interpreted is an amazing one. It dots the "it's" and crosses the "its" to all our conceptions of official He told me that he, Mr. von Kleist, and Dr. Scheele, and a man by the name of Becker on the Friedrich der Grosse, were making the bombs, and that Captain Wolpert, Captain Bode, and Captain Steinberg had charge of putting these bombs on the ships; they put these bombs in cases and shipped them as merchandise on these steamers, and they would go away on the trip and the bombs would go off after the ship was out four or five days, causing a fire and causing the cargo to go up in flames. He also told me that they have made quite a number of these bombs; that thirty of them were given to a party by the name of O'Leary, and that he took them down to New Orleans where he had charge of putting them on ships down there, this fellow O'Leary." Of equal if not greater interest is the following intercepted radiogram sent from Berlin in January, 1916, to Ambassador Bernstorff: "Jan. 26. For Military Attache. You can obtain particulars as to persons suitable for carrying on sabotage in the United States and Canada from the following persons: (1) Joseph McGarrity, Philadelphia, Penn. (2- John P. Keating, Michigan Avenue, Chicago. (3) Jeremiah O'Leary, 16 Park Row, New York. One and two are absolutely reliable and discreet. No. 3 is reliable, but not always discreet. These persons were indicated by Sir Roger Casement. In the United States sabotage can be carried out on every kind of factory for supplying munitions of war. Railway embankments and bridges must not be touched. Embassy must in no circumstances be compromised. Similar precautions must be taken in regard to Irish pro-German propaganda.

It dots the "I's" and crosses the "t's" to all our conceptions of official German unscrupulousness, effrontery, and lying. It deals with labor leaders corrupted, and strikes caused in munitions plants by German influence; with the German financing of the movement for an embargo on munitions shipments; with the destruction of innocent merchant vessels by bombs planted in their cargoes by German agents in American harbors; with plots for the promotion of sabotage in the United States and in Canada, including the blowing up of the Welland Canal and the Canadian Pacific Railway; with the corruption of American opinion through the agency of German paid professors, newspapers, and lecturers; with the forging of passports to send German reservists abroad; with the supply from American ports of German raiders at sea; with German plots organized here in order to cause revolt in India and in Ireland; with the procuration of perjury and the shameless lying of the German government. Perhaps history contains no instance of effrontery greater than the issuance to the American press, in December, 1915, of the following official lie: "The German government has naturally never knowingly accepted the support of any person, group of persons, society or organization seeking to promote the cause of Germany in the United States by illegal acts, by counsel of violence, by contravention of law, or by any means whatever that could offend the American people in the pride of their own authority." Every line of this pamphlet proves the falsity of this official German statement. Among the Germans actively connected with plots and intrigues in this country while enjoying its hospitality were Ambassadors Bernstorff and Dumba; attaches Papen, Boy-Ed and Albert; Franz Bopp, German Consul at San Francisco, and Kurt von Reiswitz, Consul at Chicago, Dr. Buenz and Paul Koenig of the Hamburg-American steamship line; and such minor conspirators as Rintelen, Fay, Gorst, West of the University of Minnesota.

Among the Germans actively connected with plots and intrigues in this country while enjoying its hospitality were Ambassadors Bernstorff and Dumba; attaches Papen, Boy-Ed and Albert; Franz Bopp, German Consul at San Francisco, and Kurt von Reiswitz, Consul at Chicago, Dr. Buenz and Paul Koenig of the Hamburg-American steamship line; and such minor conspirators as Rintelen, Fay, Gorst, Scheele, Kleist, and a dozen others. The numerous American tools include Ex-Congressman Frank Buchanan, who was active in the movement for strikes and the munitions embargo; Lamar, the "Wolf of Wall Street"; Dr. William Bayard Hale, to whom Count Bernstorff referred as one who could "give information" concerning the embargo movement; Max Breitung of Chicago and Albert Koltschmidt of Detroit, who were connected with attempts to promote explosions; the notorious Jeremiah O'Leary, Irish agitator and editor of a seditious publication called "Bull"; George Sylvester Vlereck, whose paper the "Fatherland" was financed by the German Embassy, and a host of others. Of the bomb industry, with its 300 to 400 bombs manufactured, and fires in 33 ships sailing from New York, we get this glimpse in the testimony of a witness in the case against Captain von Kleist, in the New York courts: "We sat down and we spoke for about three hours. I asked him the different things that he did, and said if he wanted an interview with Mr. von Igel, my boss, he would have to tell everything. So he told me von Papen gave Dr. Scheele, the partner of von Kleist in this factory, a check for $10,000 to start the bomb factory. When the war ends there is no doubt that at last there will be an abundance of American ships, and Chairman Hurley of the United States Shipping Board declares that after the war these ships will be used to make markets for American goods in all parts of the world. And Chairman Hurley adds that "fair play, fair prices and quick deliveries will be the slogan." It will be noted that Chairman Hurley speaks as if he expected the Shipping Board to run things after the war. A Shipping Board official has just refused to accept a rent-free lease for the period of the war for some waterfront land in San Francisco bay and insists upon outright purchase of land somewhere, because the Shipping Board will always be building ships. And yet by law the Shipping Board must go into liquidation as soon as the war ends and dispose of every one of its ships within five years from that time. It would be interesting to know from what source officials of the board learned that their shipbuilding and operating functions were to be permanent. There should be, and presumably will be, after the war, exceedingly active competition among all the nations of the world for the carriage of seaborne traffic. The ships which will up C. H.

OUR MERCHANT MARINE AFTER THE WAR "The people of this should recognize that of the war strength of full power demands that of all existing well-equipped college and technical schools ever-increasing bodies of students as young people have qualifications should call of their country, selves diligently, enter in increasing number preparing for the high which they are capable practicable, young men same time join the reserve and prepare service, in order to be call also when it comes." Institutions of this should adjust their own possible, to immediate to the demands which come with the establishment and should develop scientific and practical study which are essential of the war, to the our industries and on the accomplishment civic and political life." Educational institute every effort to make and privileges of their service accessible to paired men and women In the cases of man- carry the cheapest will get the business, and what chance American ships will have in the scramble under our present shipping laws is difficult to see. The world will have a superabundance of ships as soon as the first rush of freight carrying is over, and if it be said that reconstruction will demand the transportation of immense amounts of freight the answer is that those whose structures have been destroyed by the Huns will strenuously insist on low freight rates on reconstruction materials. The law requires the sale of the ships constructed by the government, but permits operation by the board while it exists if the ships cannot be sold or chartered. It is possible that by selling enough the board can enable new owners to meet competition, but the write-off from cost will be fearful. BREAKFAST MUSH Mush and milk for breakfast or lunch makes a simple dish fit for a king—but, like all other simple dishes, it must be made just right or the king won't like it. The secret of serving cornmeal this way lies in plenty of milk and not too much mush. In the first place, see that the mush is not too thick—try out your recipes until you find the knack of cooking it just long enough. No one enjoys dry, thick mush. Then serve moderate portions with a generous amount of milk or cream on top—and have plenty more in the pitcher to add later on. Raisins, dates, figs and other dried fruits give variety to the dish and please the children. They sweeten the mush and save sugar. To Make Mush Put the cornmeal, cold water and salt together in the top of a double boiler. No stirring is necessary. Put the top of the double boiler into the men and women this will require some provision for assistance in meeting payments for tuition and laboratory fees and other necessary expenses for higher technical training." HONEY FOR SOLDIERS A carload of honey was shipped from Orange county to New York City over the Santa Fe recently. In the car were 530 cases of honey, making a net weight of 63,600 pounds, and valued at $13,780. The honey was to be delivered to the Rosenburg Bros. Company, for use on a government contract. This brings to mind some bee history compiled by J. E. Pleasants, veteran bee man and honey inspector for Orange county, from whose statistics the following facts are taken: J. S. Harbison imported the first bees to California, by way of the Isthmus of Panama, from Pennsylvania in 1856. He took them first to Sacramento valley, but later moved them to San Diego county. He sold several stands to John Rowland for $100 a stand. These colonies were established in Los Angeles county. At this time honey brought a dollar a pound. In 1870 the first bees were brought to Orange county, and J. E. Pleasanta established the colonies in the Santiago canyon. Later Robert Hall and J. C. Joplin took up the business. Others followed, and in 1885 honey was down to 10 cents a pound. In those days Mr. Pleasants frequently shipped honey to Liverpool, England, by way of New Orleans. The growth of the industry called for an inspector, and in 1902 J. E. Pleasants was appointed to the position, one he has held for many years since that time. He riddled the county of foul-brood, a very fatal bee disease. In the San Joaquin valley about 1905 there be- by the sword of the German conqueror, he says: In that situation, the German commander issued a proclamation. Every able-bodied Pole was bidden to Germany to work. If any refused, let no other Pole give him to eat, not so much as a mouthful, under penalty of German military law. This is the choice the German government gives to the conquered Pole, to the husband and father of a starving family: Leave your family or die or survive as the case may be. Leave your country which is destroyed, to work in Germany for its further destruction. If you are obstinate, we shall see that you surely starve. Staying with his folk, he is doomed and they are not saved; the father and husband can do nothing for them, he only adds to their risk and suffering. Leaving them, he will be cut off from his family, they may never hear from him again nor from them. Germany will set him to work that a German workman may be released to fight against his own land and people. He shall be lodged in barracks, behind barbed wire entanglements, under armed guard. He shall sleep on the bare ground with a single thin blanket. He shall scantily fed and his earnings shall be taken from him to pay for his food. That is the choice which the German government offers to a proud, sensitive, high-strung people. Death or slavery. When a Pole gave me that proclamation, I was bolling. But I had to restrain myself. I was practically the only foreign civilian in the country and I wanted to get food to the people. That was what I was there for and I must not for any cause jeopardize the undertaking. I asked Governor General von Beseler, "Can this be true?" "Really, I cannot say," he replied.

Then serve moderate portions with a generous amount of milk or cream on top—and have plenty more in the pitcher to add later on. Raisins, dates, figs and other dried fruits give variety to the dish and please the children. They sweeten the mush and save sugar. To Make Mush Put the cornmeal, cold water and salt together in the top of a double boiler. No stirring is necessary. Put the top of the double boiler into the lower part and allow the mush to heat slowly, cooking half an hour, or longer, if convenient. Many people cook it as long as four hours. Just before serving remove the top of the double boiler from the lower part and boil the mush for two or three minutes. In boiling it at this time, there is no danger that it will lump. Cornmeal and fig phudding is made as follows: One cup cornmeal, 1 cup molasses, 6 cups milk (or 4 of milk and 2 of cream), 1 cup finely chopped figs, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon salt. How to Cook Cook the cornmeal with 4 cups of the milk, add the molasses, figs and salt. When the mixture is cool, add the eggs, well beaten. Pour into a buttered pudding dish and bake in a moderate oven for three hours or more. When partly cooked add the remainder of the milk without stirring the pudding. This serves eight or ten people. Make cornmeal and apple pudding in much the same way. For the figs in the above recipe substitute a pint of finely sliced or chopped sweet apples. This serves eight or ten people. "GO-TO-COLLEGE" DRIVE Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior, has endorsed the "Go-To-College" drive instituted by the War Department and now being carried on in California under the direction of C. E. Rugh, professor of education in the University of California and director of the State of California campaign. Secretary Lane recently appointed a committee to study the whole question of higher education and to report the results of its investigations to the Department of the Interior. The following statement has been authorized by the department: "The people of the United States should recognize that the maintenance of the war strength of the nation in its full power demands the utmost efforts of all existing well-organized and ade- DON'T DO IT At the meeting of the County Firemen's Association recently held at K. C. hall, the following list of "Don't" was compiled, and people are urgently asked to act in accordance therewith as precautionary measures against fire: Don't kindle fires with kerosene. Don't throw waste paper on a fire in a fireplace. Don't fill lamps or oil stoves after dark or when lighted. Don't go into closets with lighted matches, looking for clothing. Don't accumulate old bedding, or other trash, in cellar or attic. Don't allow oily rags or rubbish near stoves or about the premises. Don't place electric lights in bed to warm feet; don't smoke in bed. LICENSES OF STAGE COMPANY REVOKED BY BOARD Nineteen Revoked at Once For Southern Division of Pickwick Stages The Board of Public Utilities established a precedent Thursday by revoking the nineteen licenses on the southern division of the Pickwick Stages at No. 617 South Hill street, on the ground that the stage company established a record of forty-six violations of rules and regulations within forty-eight hours. When a Pole gave me that proclamation, I was bolling. But I had to restrain myself. I was practically the only foreign civilian in the country and I wanted to get food to the people. That was what I was there for and I must not for any cause jeopardize the undertaking. I asked Governor General von Besseler, "Can this be true?" "Really, I cannot say," he replied. "I have signed so many proclamations; ask General von Kries." So I asked General von Kries. "General, this is a civilized people. Can this be true." "Yes," he said, "it is true"—with an air of adding, Why not? I dared not trust myself to speak; I turned to go. "Walt," he said. And he explained to me how Germany, official Germany, regards the state of subject peoples. This I have seen. I could not believe it unless I had seen it through and through. For several weeks I lived with it; I went all about it and back of it; inside and out of it was shown to me—until finally I came to realize that the incredible was true. It is monstrous, it is unthinkable, but it exists. It is the Prussian system. It is hard for us to imagine such a condition in America as Mr. Walcott has described as existing in Hun-ridden Poland, and yet that is just what would exist should our boys, and the boys of our allies, now fighting in France fail to defeat the soldiers of this murder empire. This fair country of our would be made into a German province; our people would be the slaves of the Junkers of Germany, subject to the beastly whims of the officers of the German army. In no war in which America has ever engaged have the stakes been so great as in this present conflict. Should we, by any chance, lose; should the Hun, by any chance, win; our liberties, our happiness, everything Americans hold dear, would be lost. LICENSES OF STAGE COMPANY REVOKED BY BOARD of the State of California campaign. Secretary Lane recently appointed a committee to study the whole question of higher education and to report the results of its investigations to the Department of the Interior. The following statement has been authorized by the department: "The people of the United States should recognize that the maintenance of the war strength of the nation in its full power demands the utmost efforts of all existing well-organized and adequately-equipped colleges, universities, and technical schools. This means ever-increasing and more devoted bodies of students as well as faculties. "Young people having the requisite qualifications should heed this urgent call of their country, and apply themselves diligently, enthusiastically, and in increasing numbers to the task of preparing for the highest service of which they are capable. Wherever practicable, young men should at the same time join the students enlisted reserve and prepare for military service, in order to be ready for that call also when it comes. "Institutions of higher education should adjust their courses, so far as possible, to immediate war needs and to the demands which must inevitably come with the establishment of peace, and should develop especially those scientific and practical branches of study which are essential to the winning of the war, to the development of our industries and commerce, and to the accomplishment of the tasks of the civic and political life of the nation. "Educational institutions should use every effort to make the opportunities and privileges of training for public service accessible to all suitably prepared men and women of college age. In the cases of many worthy young Don't kindle fires with kerosene. Don't throw waste paper on a fire in a fireplace. Don't fill lamps or oil stoves after dark or when lighted.

Walcott, a member of the United States food administration, and during the time America was feeding the civilian populations of Belgium, Serbia and northern France an assistant of Mr. Hoover in these invaded countries, has pictured in a graphic way the conditions he found among the people it was his duty to help. After describing the terrible conditions in Poland in 1916, the millions that were dying of starvation, the hundreds of thousands of defenseless people that had been ruthlessly cut down LICENSES OF STAGE COMPANY REVOKED BY BOARD Nineteen Revoked at Once For Southern Division of Pickwick Stages The Board of Public Utilities established a precedent Thursday by revoking the nineteen licenses on the southern division of the Pickwick Stages at No. 617 South Hill street, on the ground that the stage company established a record of forty-six violations of rules and regulations within forty-eight hours. The order of revocation becomes effective the last day of September, and it will apply to the service extending south from Los Angeles and reaching to such points as Murrietta Hot Springs and San Diego. Interurban buses belonging to the company will not be allowed to operate on the streets of Los Angeles if they serve the southern division. Among other things it was charged that the Pickwick stages have accepted money for reservations and not reserved transportation accommodations for such passengers, also that on at least one occasion a bus went out which carried a full load of passengers, yet had no car license, driver license nor bond. The Pickwick company has applied for permit to operate over the state highway through Orange county. THOSE GREAT GERMAN GENERALE We do not wish to be mean, says a Los Angeles newspaper, but we cannot help observing that if this war lasts long enough the German generals will acquire a little practical experience that might possibly be of value to them.

It couldn't lose. Imopssible. France was surprised through Belgium, and the Kaiser made a dinner engagement in Paris. What happened? A handful of Belgians, consecrated to death, held Llege and halted Von Emmich and kept the whole German army marking time while France desperately dragged her Pollus from shops and farms. At last they smashed through Belgium and the Kaiser issued a proclamation stating that God was with him. But, in spite of all the calculations and chance-elimination of the General Staff and the personal assistance of Gott, General von Kluck bungled things; so trat Joffre smote him at the Marne, and the Kaiser failed to eat his dinner. And the Crown Prince, who is considered a real warrior, what of him? He loves war, and he has had all the advantage of German training and the confidence of the high officers. The Crown Prince wanted Verdun. It would be a great victory to take Verdun. And for two years he tried it. The grim Pollus said, "They shall not pass!" And to paraphrase Kipling, those Pollus euchred Gott—to say nothing of the princeling "general." The blame for the failure at Verdun was fastened officially on Falkenhayn, then Chief of Staff, because somebody had to take the responsibility and nobody in the Fatherland was ever permitted to hear of a Hohenzollern princelling being a failure. Falkenhayn also had allowed the Russians to get into Galicia, where they knocked the Austrians over as a ball crashes through ten pins. Before Falkenhayn, Von Moltke, the Chief of Staff, had been pulled out of office for Von Kluck's failure to take Paris; so it was bungle, bungle, bungle right down the line. Then appeared Hindenburg. Hindenburg was the superman. He would do wonders. But few people remember that in his first drive against Warsaw the old lanky Grand Duke Nicholas had given him a fearful trouncing. Hindenburg returned to the campaign and, with the aid of spies and agents, won his reputation. It is true that he did catch the Russians in a swamp and massacred them—the Germans are efficient in massacres. Hindenburg is supposed to have ordered the second drive against Italy, and the Italians ought to vote him the nation's thanks. What happened at the Plave will never be recorded truthfully in German history. Then appeared Ludendorff. All of a SANTA FE TIME TABLE (Corrected to Date) NORTHBOUND Lv. Anaheim Ar.

It is true that he did catch the Russians in a swamp and massacred them—the Germans are efficient in massacres. Hindenburg is supposed to have ordered the second drive against Italy, and the Italians ought to vote him the nation's thanks. What happened at the Plave will never be recorded truthfully in German history. Then appeared Ludendorff. All of a sudden the world learned that this man Ludendorff was the "brains" behind Hindenburg. Hindenburg really didn't amount to much; but this Ludendorff—he was the greatest of all German generals. Ludendorff got into the saddle and made a drive on Paris. He stuck at Chateau Thierry—and Foch, who doesn't know anything about strategy at all, put in a lot of raw, untrained American soldiers against Ludendorff's four-year veterans. And those Yankees kicked the four-year veterans all the way back to Soissons, and the French started in, the British started, and now it is a dull day for war news when the Germans aren't knocked back a dozen miles and hammered out of a half dozen villages. Great general! No. It was great guns, great masses of men, a great commissary department, great brutality and the great advantage of taking the world by surprise. General for general, the Germans have made more bungles and flukes than all the Allied commanders put together. If the French generals, so handicapped by odds, had made bungles, the Kaiser and Hindenburg would be dining in Paris. If Haig or French had slipped, the canal ports would today be havens for U-boats.

CARVING MATCH Two Mexicans, having evidently indulged in too much "vino," engaged in a carving match in the Clay building at Placentia last Saturday night, and when the battle was over the place looked like some of the European scenes we read of. Also, one hombre had a bad cut across his left forearm and was otherwise disfigured, while the other had been stabbed in the right breast. Deputy Constable Nelson and Judge Achley rounded them up, Dr. Thibodo administered first aid, and then Nelson took them to the county hospital where the extent of heir injuries will be determined before further action is taken. Francisco Coronandez was one of the combatants, and the other refused to give his name.
